Short, wise-guy answer: I have no competition.
Real answer: Payback time. I've had some great mentors along the way, and want to pass their gifts along. Laurence Holcolmb, former head of continuity at NBC and professor at Emerson College, taught me how every word -- and by extension, every tiny sound -- counts. The late Dr. Tony Schwartz, who practically invented the field of broadcast sound design, gave me tips and encouragement when I was starting out. Wavy Gravy -- you've got to know who he is -- taught me it's okay to be dangerous if you know who you are. And legendary Boston ad men John Dowd Jr and Ray Welch taught me how important it is to make a game out of your work... but don't trust anyone else to count the cards.
Besides, I'm not worried about competition. It forces me to keep trying new things.The AES Boston Section This link now takes you to the Section's own domain.
Dr. Barry Blesser was featured speaker at our June 2000 banquet. His speech about changing technologies still lives here at dplay.com, as streaming audio with a text summary.
Somebody asked me why I'm giving away the store. Why do I devote a web site and monthly magazine column to teaching others how to use techniques that took me years to develop? Aren't I worried about competition?
